Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States? In 2008, over 616,000 people died of heart disease — that’s almost 25% of total deaths that year. But it doesn’t have to be this way. There are simple changes we can make to live better… and longer.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number one factor that puts people at risk for heart disease is inactivity. Being a “desk job” person myself, I have to make a conscious effort to move around throughout the day. Instead of sending an inter-office envelope, I’ll hand-deliver a document to the third-floor of my building. It only takes a few minutes, but it keeps my body moving and my mind more alert.

A personal trainer once told me that even going on a daily walk around your neighborhood or taking a restorative yoga class can help — as long as you keep yourself moving. Consider the Harvard Alumni Study that found that men who averaged at least eight flights a day enjoyed a 33 percent lower mortality rate than their sedentary counterparts. All they did was walk up a few flights of stairs!

Also among the risk factors for heart disease are obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. As we know, eating healthier can make a big difference.

The American Heart Association recommends consuming eight or more fruit and vegetable servings every day, and smoothies are a great way to pack a lot of produce into a single meal.

Today’s USANA Test Kitchen recipes feature three heart smart smoothie recipes that are quick to whip up and easy to take with you wherever you go!Cranberry Fruit Smoothie (adapted from AHA recipe)

Have you switched to Cheerios for breakfast? Are you consuming more whole grains? What are some simple changes you’ve made for your heart health?

Eating well is an important part of being healthy. From the USANA Test Kitchen is a monthly column offering useful nutrition tips, as well as delicious, healthy recipes that use USANA nutritionals in creative ways.

Aveda Outer Peace skincare lineHaving acne is extremely frustrating and sometimes embarrassing. Recently, my husband finally caved and asked me what I thought about treating his adult acne. This has been a sore subject for him, and I think he had finally reached the end of his journey of looking for yet another acne treatment option. Luckily, the lovely esthetician staff at Folawn’s had all of the answers he had been looking for! We have him set up on a rotation of Outer Peace Acne Treatment facials and he is also using the entire Outer Peace skincare line. The difference in his skin has been night and day, and it is amazing how fixing your skin problems can positively effect your life. My husband has been much happier and much more confident in himself since beginning this new regimen almost two months ago! If you or someone you know is struggling with acne prone skin issues, do them a favor and send them to The Spa @ Folawn’s for some relief. Below I am posting an awesome makeup tutorial for acne coverage!
